Finally arrived!

[Toejedi]

After a 5 month wait I got it today.

After owning 3 other Z4’s, my last was a 35is, I would say this:

Ride is much better. Less harsh and crash than 35is.
Overall handling is very much improved; this holds a line better than previous Z4’s and feels planted.
Interior finish is fantastic and worthy of the marque.
iDrive7 brings BMW into the new age. It’s fresh, beautiful to look at and functional.
Engine: jury’s still out in this, as I’m running it in still.
Looks: beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but every time I look at this car something else catches my eye. It’s fab in black and smooths the sharp lines but retains the muscular stance and angular cuts. Everyone that’s sees it have all said positive things, and at the end of the day, it’s my view that counts, and I love it.
Price: yup expensive. But when I specc’d a 718 Boxster S it came in over £75k. The driving experience is key and that includes the features a car has on it.

Happy so far? Yes definitely.

I think it looks very nice, nice review of the subtle details though as for the nay sayers, your opinion is all that counts!

My Mrs hates my E86, Bing complements it in the only Scottish way he knows how but just like the Sex Pistols... I don’t care

Glad u r able to live the dream

 

[buzyg]

So you like it then. :wink:

 

[millview22]

Lovely car...and a perfect weekend to enjoy. Coincidentally, I received an email yesterday to say mine is being made...

 

[Marlon]

Another G29 joins the ranks, I like the black and red combo

 

[MACK]

Lovely, congrats. I have to say the G29 is slowly starting to grow on me. Do you have any interior piccies?

 

[Jim S]

Nice looking car. The Black paintwork and the Red interior go well together. Saw a G29 sDrive 30i at my local dealer yesterday with the same colour combination. I think the Cerium Grey grill, wheels and trim compliments your car better than Black.
Happy motoring

Do they still use runflats?

 

[Z4monster]

Nice to hear a positive review of the new car. I liked it in the metal much better than the photos I've seen. Glad to hear that you're happy with it overall. I'm sure I'll be switching up later in the year.

 

[Mad Professor]

looks brilliant -wish you all the best in ownership

 

[millview22]

Do they still use runflats?

they are a zero cost option...

 

[sars]

Very nice indeed, I think black really suits the M40 variant

You decided yet between Zed and Boxster Sars...?

 

[Bing]

Lovely

I have to say, I loved the seats in the one I drove, very comfortable and supportive all the way up to your head.

And Jembo - it’s a coupe mate, you’re just a disappointment :lol:

Not really, I’m a little reluctant to buy new again, though mines just cost me £180 because of a software issue with the Harman Kardon so now buying used doesn’t appeal much either

Hmm...difficult isn’t it. Can you not find a year old Boxster that’s had its initial hit? I’d think that would be a pretty safe bet. I’ve been looking for a year for the spec of Boxster I’d like but they don’t exist, so I’ve bitten a very expensive bullet, crazy I know but.....

 

[Toejedi]

I’ll add some more photos of the interior when it gets back from the detailers.

I’ve sent the new G29 to the guys who did my last E89 35is as per pictures below, they do a really good job.

Can’t wait to have it back!

 

[Toejedi]

And now ready for collection!

 

[NewZdriver]

Looking fab there!!

 

[Nictrix]

Your E89 was a cracking looking car
